Heh. Also, my IT department is more likely to have Professional discs lying about, so I hope that's what SFC actually wants.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I picked up a bunch of 125 USB drives at Target last weekend for $1.50 each. I couldn't help myself. I had a bunch of burnable CDs, then figured USB drives would do just as well.
125 MB?

yup
no 125 gig drives for 1.50, I'd have bought out hte rack and raided the storeroom.

I was thinking it's possible to have been 1.25 gig, as 4 gig flashes are now under $10.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ohhhhhhhhhh.
The first time I read that, I thought you'd picked up 125 USB drives. (Not drives of 125MB - 125 separate drives. And I thought, well that seems like a lot to me but it was a good price!)

Having a handful of 125 mb USB drives amuses me, because I remember paying $40 for my first 125 mb drive. And I got my 4 gigger for $12.

Me, too! And I was so excited to have it! (It's still at the bottom of my purse, I think.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Some interesting choices in Spike TV's 6 doomed technology list. I disagree with the Blu Ray demise, at least partially because the way they spell it, it accompanies the demise of the special feature--streaming movies don't come with commentaries and making of, as much as I like the Netflix functionality.
I'm also surprised by the hybrid car choice.
